Classic Chevre by Vermont Butter & Cheese Company image

(based on 8 ratings)

Located in:Cheese, USA

The Vermont Butter and Cheese Company story begins with this mild goat's milk cheese. It was on a farm in Brittany where young Allison Hooper, working for room and board, learned the time-honored traditions of European artisanal cheesemaking. Working as a dairy lab technician in Vermont a few years later, she produced a chèvre for a banquet organized by Bob Reese, then marketing director of the state agriculture department. Chèvre was still largely unavailable in Vermont at the time - but not for much longer. Inspired by the response to her chèvre, Allison teamed up with Bob to found Vermont Butter & Cheese Company.

Since then, Vermont Chèvre has earned an honored place among chefs and consumers alike. Distinguished by a simple, mild, fresh goat's milk flavor, the cheese is highly versatile - an excellent ingredient in many dishes as well as on its own. While chèvre continues to grow in popularity, Vermont Chèvre maintains its reputation for quality through superlative taste, freshness, and lower salt.

Made from pasteurized goat's milk.

This is the best chevre I've had. Creamy but not too rich; tangy but not too sour. LOVE it melted on a burger or just straight of the pack.

Bottom Line:

I have tried many different goat cheeses, and with the exception of a small-batch local goat cheese, this is the best ever. Creamy but not too rich, tangy but not sour, melty but not stringy. Excellent cheese for crackers or anything else. I order multiples and hide them from my teen-aged daughter and her friends -- they love it, too!

Rave reviews

By Anti-frou-frou from Connecticut on 12/3/2007

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I ordered this for some friends as part of the Hiking in Provence gift set. They raved about this cheese. The connoiseurs even hid it from the less-than-discerning-palettes so it would be the most appreciated. While I didn't get to try it myself I can safely say that it comes highly recommended. Bon Appetit.
